Serena: We will.

Chad: You had black tights on.

Lelouch: Shirley's not with me.

(The Conductors appear)

Mr. Conductor 2: You are.

Mina: Luna and Artemis are our pet cats.

Mr. Conductor 1: Toby had his first visit.

Yolei: Toby?

Mr. Conductor 1: I can tell.

(Mr. Conductor 1 blows his whistle and Toby The Tram Engine starts)

Mr. Conductor 1: Toby is a tram engine. He has cowcatchers and side plates and doesn't look like a steam engine at all. He takes from farms and villages to the main line and is cheerful to everyone he meets. He has a coach called Henrietta who has seen better days.

Henrietta: It's not fair at all.

Mr. Conductor 1: She grumbles remembering she used to be full and nine cars would rattle behind her. Now there were only 3 or four for the farms and factories send their goods mostly by truck. Toby is always careful. The cars, buses and trucks often had accidents. Toby hasn't had an accident for years. But the buses are crowded and Henrietta is empty.

(Toby's bell rings)

Mr. Conductor 1: A lady and a stout gentleman stood on Toby's platform. He was of course Sir Topham Hatt. But Toby didn't noticed yet.

Children: Come on, grandfather.

Mr. Conductor 1: Cried the children.

Children: Do look at this engine.

Sir Topham Hatt: That's a tram engine, Stephen.

Mr. Conductor 1: Said Sir Topham Hatt.

Bridget: Is it electric?

Mr. Conductor 1: Asked Bridget.

Toby: Whoosh!

Mr. Conductor 1: Hissed Toby.

Stephen: Shh!

Mr. Conductor 1: Said her brother.

Stephen: You've offended him.

Bridget: But trams are electric, aren't they?

Sir Topham Hatt: They are mostly, and this is a steam tram.

Children: May we go in it, grandfather, please?

Sir Topham Hatt: Stop!

Mr. Conductor 1: Said Sir Topham Hatt to the conductor. They all scrambled into Henrietta.

Henrietta: Hip-hip hooray!

Mr. Conductor 1: Chanted Henrietta. But Toby didn't sing.

Toby: Electric indeed! Electric indeed!

Mr. Conductor 1: He snorted. He was proud of being a steam tram.

Sir Topham Hatt: What is your name?

Mr. Conductor 1: Asked Sir Topham Hatt.

Toby: Toby, sir.

Mr. Conductor 1: Thank you, Toby, for a very nice ride.

Toby: Thank you, sir.

Mr. Conductor 1: Said Toby. He felt better now.

Toby: This gentleman...

Mr. Conductor 1: He thought.

Toby: ...is a gentleman who knows how to speak to engines.

Mr. Conductor 1: The children came every day for two weeks. Sometimes they rode with the conductor, sometimes in empty cars. On the last day of all the driver invited them into his cab. All were sorry when they had to go away and Sir Topham Hatt and his family thanked everyone.

Toby: Come again soon.

Mr. Conductor 1: Replied Toby.

Children: We will, we will.

Mr. Conductor 1: Called the children. And they waved till Toby was out of sight. The months passed. Toby had few cars and fewer passengers.

Driver: Our last day, Toby.

Mr. Conductor 1: Said his driver one morning.

Driver: The manager says we must close tomorrow.

Mr. Conductor 1: That day, everyone will have a chance of a last ride. The passengers joked and sang, but Toby and his driver wish they wouldn't.

Passengers: Goodbye, Toby.

Mr. Conductor 1: Said the passengers afterwards.

Passengers: We're sorry your line was closing down.

Toby: So am I.

Mr. Conductor 1: Sighed Toby.

Toby: Nobody wants me.

Mr. Conductor 1: Toby thought and went unhappily to sleep. Next morning, the shed was flung open and old Toby woke with a start to his driver waving a piece of paper at him.

Driver: Wake up, Toby!

Mr. Conductor 1: He shouted excitely.

Driver: The mail has just arrived and there's a letter for us from the stout gentleman! Maybe it's good news.

Mr. Conductor 1: There's the line to a quarry at the end of Thomas' branch. It goes to some distance along the road. Thomas was very careful to whistle here in case anyone was coming. Early one morning, a large policeman was sitting close to the line. Thomas liked policemen. He had been a great friend of the officer who had just retired.

Thomas: Peep! Peep!

Mr. Conductor 1: He whistled.

Thomas: Good morning.

Mr. Conductor 1: Thomas expected that the new officer would be friendly too. But was sorry to see that he didn't look friendly at all. He was red in the face and very cross.

Policeman: Disgraceful!

Mr. Conductor 1: He spluttered.

Policeman: I didn't sleep a wink last night. It was so quiet, and now engines come whistling suddenly behind me.

Thomas: I'm sorry, sir.

Mr. Conductor 1: Said Thomas.

Thomas: I only said good morning.

Mr. Conductor 1: The policeman pointed to Thomas.

Policeman: Where's your cowcatchers?

Mr. Conductor 1: He asked.

Thomas: But I don't catch cows, sir.

Policeman: Don't be funny.

Mr. Conductor 1: Snapped the policeman. He looked at Thomas' wheels.

Policeman: No side plates either.

Mr. Conductor 1: And he wrote in his notebook.

Policeman: Engines goin on public roads must have their wheels covered and a cowcatcher in front to protect people and animals from being dragged under the wheels if they stray under the line. You haven't so you are dangerous.

Driver: Rubbish.

Mr. Conductor 1: Said Thomas' driver.

Driver: We've been along here hundreds of times and never had an accident.

Policeman: That makes it worse.

Mr. Conductor 1: The policeman answered. He wrote Regular Law Breaker in his book. Thomas puffed sadly away. Sir Topham Hatt was having breakfast he was eating toast and marmalade. The butler came in.

Butler: Excuse me, sir, you're wanted on the telephone.

Sir Topham Hatt: Bother that telephone!

Mr. Conductor 1: Said Sir Topham Hatt.

(Phone chattering)

Sir Topham Hatt: I'm sorry, my dear.

Mr. Conductor 1: He said to his wife.

Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas is in trouble with the police and I must go at once.

Sir Topham Hatt: Dangerous to the public indeed. We'll see about that.

Mr. Conductor 1: Sir Topham Hatt spoke to the policeman. But however much he argued with him it was no good.

Policeman: The law is the law.

Mr. Conductor 1: He said.

Policeman: And we can't change it.

Mr. Conductor 1: Sir Topham Hatt felt exhausted.

Sir Topham Hatt: I'm sorry, driver.

Mr. Conductor 1: He said.

Sir Topham Hatt: It's no use arguing with the policeman. We will have to make those cowcatcher things for Thomas i suppose.

Thomas: Everyone will laugh, sir.

Mr. Conductor 1: Said Thomas.

Thomas: They say i look like a tram.

Mr. Conductor 1: Sir Topham Hatt stared, then he laughed.

Sir Topham Hatt: Well done, Thomas. Why didn't i think of it before. We need a tram engine. When i was on my holiday i met a nice little engine called Toby. He takes freight cars from the farms but the trucks have taken most of his work and he needs a change. He has cowcatchers and sideplates. I'll write to this superintedant at once.

Mr. Conductor 1: A few days later, Toby arrived.

Sir Topham Hatt: That's a good engine.

Mr. Conductor 1: Said Sir Topham Hatt.

Sir Topham Hatt: I see you brought your coach Henrietta.

Toby: You don't mind, do you, sir?

Mr. Conductor 1: Asked Toby.

Toby: The stationmaster wanted to use her as a hen house, and that would never do.

Sir Topham Hatt: No indeed.

Mr. Conductor 1: Said Sir Topham Hatt.

Sir Topham Hatt: We couldn't allow that.

Mr. Conductor 1: Toby made the silly cars even better than Thomas did.

Policeman: Hey you!

Mr. Conductor 1: At first, Thomas was jealous, but he was so pleased when Toby rang his bell and frightened the policeman, they've been firmed friends ever since.
